Dealing with Wastewater and Water Purification from the Age of Early Modernity to the Present: an Inquiry Into the Management of the Ottawa River Dealing with Wastewater and Water Purification from the Age of Early Modernity to the Present: An Inquiry Into the Management of the Ottawa River Matthew Murray Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postgraduate Studies. In Partial Fulfilment for the requirements needed for completion of an MA Degree in Sociology. Department of Sociology and Anthropology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa ©Matthew Murray, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 Abstract: This thesis examines the impact of urban water infrastructure on the Ottawa River through an exploration of the City of Ottawa's historical development from the early modern period to the present. The primary aim is to explain how the Ottawa River came to be removed or ignored from the City of Ottawa's urban development strategy. The thesis focuses on the periods of 1910-1920 (early modernity) and 1999-2012 (present). The theories applied are risk, risk management, normal accident theory and the politics of infrastructure. The data and information for this thesis were primarily retrieved from the City of Ottawa website as well as from the archives of the City of Ottawa. The thesis identifies several factors explaining why the Ottawa River has been mistreated over time, as well as the challenges involved in reforming present-day practices and infrastructure. Several recommendations to fix the situation are advanced. ii Acknowledgements: With special honour, I would like to acknowledge all those who helped make this thesis possible. First and foremost, I would like to thank my thesis supervisor Dr. Nathan Young who provided extraordinary supervision, guidance and experience from the very start of this research project.

These processes such as the release of raw untreated wastewater into the Ottawa River from the City of Ottawa, have attracted undesirable attention from various sources (media, the public, etc). In turn, they have resulted in public campaigns to show that processes are in place or going to be in place to resolve conditions of environmental degradation. Although these concerns are more recent, they have been in existence for a much longer period of time. As Canada's Capital, the City of Ottawa has been subject to several periods of growth, expansion and change ranging from the early modern period of 1909-1920 where primary infrastructure was established in a standard format to the present (1999-2012) where environmental concerns have renewed interest into providing solutions to several older problems that continue toexist withthe present infrastructure. These problems only continue to persist as the City of Ottawa develops and grows. Part of that growth has been due to a significant population increase as people from all over flock to the capital for a variety of reasons. The other part of that growth has been due to municipal annexation which has resulted in the expansion of the existing systems and a change in the economy as the City expands both in size and population. As such, the city has gone from a smaller population in the early modernity to being one of the largest cities in Canada in the present. With these changes occurring, the city's layout, design, and challenges for infrastructure have changed as well. Population and economic growth have caused significant problems, such as pollution. Waterborne pollution has caused persistent problems for the City, particularly 7 heavy metal infiltration into the Ottawa River. However, none of the studies conducted in the past (in the period of the 1970's to 1980's) focused on the questions of how or why theseproblems were occurring. Rather they have only sought to describe the existing problems as they appear. However, the real reasons for these problems and various other problems for the Ottawa River have remained mostly unexplored by sociology. These problems for the most part have been allowed to continue with minimal exploration of the rootcauses. As such, the lack of exploration has allowed for the continuance towards excluding the environment from the social and economic spheres without any clear explanation of why the City of Ottawa's infrastructure continues to contaminate the Ottawa River. Overall, this is a sociological problem because the current state of the river is the direct outcome of decisions made by municipal authorities over time. I will argue that these decisions are the product of particular priorities and views of nature that were held in an earlier phase of modernity. One of the major problems today is that these older priorities and views have been concretized in physical infrastructure, which makes them difficult and expensive to reverse. Sociology can also inform us about how subsequent generations of city politicians and administrators have tried to deal with these problems within the institutional and decisional constraints they face. In the case of this thesis, the key question motivating the research into the Ottawa River and the existing problem is: "How has the Ottawa River become removed/ignored from the City of Ottawa's strategy for development from the early modern period (1909- 1920) to the present period (1999-2012)?". The research into this problem is timely, as the City of Ottawa has recentlyimplemented anaction planfor fixing some of the urban 8 infrastructure

  • A Look Back on Ottawa's Railway Heritage
    Heritage Ottawa NEWSLETTER Dedicated to Preserving Our Built Heritage Winter 2005 Volume 32, No. 1 A look back on Ottawa’s Railway Heritage By David Jeanes ne hundred and fifty years ago on Christmas O Day, 1854, scheduled rail service first began on the Bytown and Prescott railway. The line linked Ottawa to Montreal and the United States via Ogdensburg and a year later to both Montreal and Toronto via Prescott. Without this railway link, Ottawa likely would not have become the capital of Canada and its lumber industry would not have developed into the largest in the world by the end of the nineteenth century. But how much of the architectural and engineering heritage of Ottawa’s railways remains from the early years? Last spring, one of the oldest pieces from that era was destroyed when an 1854 stone arch under an abutment of the old railway bridge from Photo: David Jeanes New Edinburgh was demolished due to concerns CPR 1898 railway bridge over Green’s Creek about the safety of the public pathway which passed beneath it. A bronze plaque commemorating both two attractive stone arch bridges of the same date the first railway and the bridge piers which remain cross Green’s Creek near Highway 417. The O-Train standing in the river will soon be erected at the site still uses a hundred-year-old steel bridge, brought by the National Capital Commission (NCC). here from Magog, Quebec in 1914, over the Rideau Other hundred-year and older railway bridges River at Carleton University. can be found around the city.

  • Reimagining Lemieux Island
    REIMAGINING LEMIEUX ISLAND by Ruamporn Ridthiprasart A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Post Doctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Canada © 2020, Ruamporn Ridthiprasart i ABSTRACT This thesis explores the preservation and adaptive re-use of Ottawa’s Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant, incorporating new programs – biological water purification, aquaponics, water-based recreation, and education. Recently, rising water levels in the Ottawa River have led to flooding and threatened the operations at this plant. Extreme weather conditions, along with the public’s accessibility to new options in water treatment in the future, may mean that the original function of the plant will become obsolete, offering opportunities for the facilities to be repurposed. Based on current scientific information about increasing precipitation and ongoing climate instability, as well as on the existing flood patterns of the Ottawa River, the thesis design incorporates changes to the island’s topography in order to protect the historical buildings that are at lower elevations from flooding. Simultaneously, I propose a utilization of the industrial settling and filtering buildings with large water-holding capacities at higher elevations to test and study methods of bioremediation of water from the Ottawa River. This reimagined filtration plant will supply various other programs within the adapted historical building that include recreation, agriculture, and education. The main water bioremediation method used is Dr. John Todd’s “Living Machine” system, that mimics the cleansing function of natural wetlands. The recreational element of the project includes natural swimming pools with separate water cleansing components.

  • Efficient Travel for the Flâneur
    EFFICIENT TRAVEL FOR THE FLÂNEUR INTERMODAL STATION AND CENTRAL LIBRARY FOR OTTAWA by Boris Ivanov Kourtev A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2016 Boris Ivanov Kourtev ABSTRACT The proposed expansion and long-awaited light rail connection to the Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport offers the opportunity to create a practical and symbolic transportation node within Canada’s capital city. Overlooking the majestic Ottawa River, Bayview Station occupies an almost barren site, detached from its context and making a subpar connection between the east-west bus and north-south O-Train routes. A proposed Intermodal Station at Bayview will not only unify these lines, but promises to organize a multifaceted social and cultural landscape for persons arriving to the City from afar and for commuting residents, alike. At the shoreline of the Ottawa River, immediately flanking the Central Business District, the axial termination of the Prince of Wales Bridge -- Bayview Station -- becomes a fundamental mediator between Ottawa and Gatineau. The programmatic pairing of Intermodal Station and Central Ottawa Library intertwines the paths associated with, respectively, efficient travel and wandering, opening a space to reflect on the dual nature of urban movement. Figure 01 - Node connecting West, East, North and South ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I hereby give warm thanks to the following people for their continuous support, guidance, and encouragement in both academic and personal level. My mom Iordanka Guenova, father Ivan Kourtev, and sister Lubomira Kourteva.

  • A SONIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY of the CHANGING RIVERSCAPE from the CHAUDIÈRE FALLS to KETTLE and DUCK ISLANDS, 1880 to 1980
    SONGS OF THE OTTAWA: A SONIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY OF THE CHANGING RIVERSCAPE FROM THE CHAUDIÈRE FALLS TO KETTLE AND DUCK ISLANDS, 1880 to 1980 by CRISTINA MARIE WOOD A research essay submitted to Carleton University in fulfillment of the requirements for the course HIST 5908, as credit toward the degree of Master of Arts in History – Public History with Specialization in Digital Humanities Department of History Carleton University Ottawa, Canada May 14, 2019 © Copyright, 2019, Cristina Wood ii Abstract “Songs of the Ottawa” is an experiment in the digital data sonification of the Ottawa River’s pasts. This study examines a stretch of river extending from below the Chaudière, Akikodjiwan, or Kana:tso Falls, past the points of confluence with three important waterways – the man-made locks at the Rideau Canal, the tumbling Rideau River falls and the low-lying delta of the Gatineau – to the sandy Kettle and Duck Islands. “Sonifying” the history of the river means to express history to achieve a particular sensual engagement with the past. Sonification is the “visualization” of historical data auditorially, to achieve a particular sensory affect. This project asks readers and listeners to hear uncanny, affective pasts and consider the ways in which storytellers can “de- form” and “re-form” data and sources. The three “songs of the Ottawa” offer a way into the stories of the river’s flows, of commerce and industry extending up and downstream, and of recreation on the water and shores. iii Acknowledgements This project has been generously supported by Carleton University and the Ontario Graduate Scholarship.

At the end of 1854 the Bytown and Prescott Railway came through Gloucester to New Edinburgh and crossed the Rideau River on a 441-foot wooden truss bridge. At the Ottawa bridge abutment a stone arch carried the railway over a riverbank path. The first station was between Dalhousie and Sussex. The “Black Bridge”, (so called to distinguish it from Photo: Ontario Archives I-0005775, 1970, detail. the “White Bridge” near Carleton University), was rebuilt in 1866 and 1923, eventually in steel with King Edward Avenue, stone arched pathway (arrow), and concrete around the piers. previously demolished rail bridge (left), Minto Bridge (right).

  • 1 Champlain Park Community History by Daniel Buckles and Debra Huron Natural
    Champlain Park Community History by Daniel Buckles and Debra Huron Natural History Flooded by the Champlain Sea after the retreat of glaciers of the last Ice Age, the Ottawa River valley has a varied geology (Hogarth, 1962; Champman and Putnam, 1984). The shoreline at what is now Remic Rapids in Ottawa and Deschênes Rapids in Gatineau is a limestone plain with very thin soil known as an alvar (Huggett, 1993; 1995). Innis Point near Shirley’s Bay is also a shoreline alvar. This is a rare ecosystem in Ontario and Quebec with plant associations adapted to extremes of wet and dry. Two major alvar plant associations are Red Cedar-Prickly Ash and Bur Oak-Prickly Ash (Laird, 1995; Catling et. al., 2012). Bur Oak (Quercus macrocarpa) is a species of oak native to the deciduous forest Zone of eastern and midwestern North America. Ottawa is on the northern edge of the bur oak species range. Also known as Burr Oak and the Mossycup White Oak, the tree commonly lives 250 years, and may survive up to 400 years. It is drought- tolerant and fire-resistant because of its thick bark, a feature that accounts for its presence in open-forest savannas. Once established, the Bur Oak tolerates urban pollution (Laird, 1995) and grows faster than most other oak species. “The Champlain Oaks” (Map 1) are a community of healthy, pre-settlement Bur Oaks descended directly from the open forest of the shoreline alvar between Chaudière Falls and Deschênes Rapids. Oaks of this age (50-180 years) in an urban environment are very rare.
